Since the primary sources of ConTeXt only offer the latest versions of the ConTeXt distribution for downloading, this makes it hard to consume in a reproducible way in Nix. This repository mirrors and version-controls distributions from ConTeXt.

If you have Nix installed with Flakes support, you can run nix build github:elohmeier/context-bin to download and build the ConTeXt distribution, providing the context, luametatex, luatex and mtxrun binaries.

You can run nix run .#update-context on a local repo checkout.
